Roofing in St. Petersburg

• Roof repair & storm damage: leaks, wind damage, flashing and decking repairs
• Roof replacement: new roofs built to current Florida code, with the permit handled where one's required
• Storm documentation: we work with your insurance claim and provide documentation of roof damage. Your insurer decides what is covered.

Older St. Pete homes and the 25% roof rule

Many St. Pete neighborhoods are full of homes built long before today's code. Under the Florida Building Code, when 25% or more of a roof or roof section is repaired or replaced within 12 months, the whole roof section generally has to be brought up to current code.

Florida law makes an exception for roofs that were built, repaired or replaced to the 2007 Florida Building Code or later: on those, only the part being worked on has to meet current code (Florida Statutes 553.844(5)). We'll tell you which applies to your home before you decide between a repair and a replacement.

Homes in a local historic district may need extra approval for visible roof changes. We'll check the requirements with you before we start.

Hurricane-season roofing on the peninsula

St. Pete is surrounded by water on three sides, so wind-driven rain and salt air are part of life here. A new roof from us is built to the Florida Building Code's high-wind requirements, and Florida law requires a re-roof on a site-built home to include a secondary water barrier and any needed roof-deck attachment fixes (Florida Statutes 553.844).

AC repair and replacement in St. Pete

• AC repair: diagnosis for systems that won't cool, leak water, freeze up or short-cycle
• AC replacement: properly sized, efficient systems for potential savings on cooling costs; older homes often need a careful look at ductwork too

Solar in St. Pete: Duke Energy net metering

St. Petersburg is served by Duke Energy Florida, so solar homes here use Duke's net metering under Florida Public Service Commission Rule 25-6.065. Your bill nets the power you use against the extra solar power you send to the grid. Leftover credits roll forward to the next bill for up to 12 months, and after each calendar year any unused credits are paid out at Duke's as-available (COG-1) energy rate.

If you're on one of Duke's time-of-use rates, the power you send back is measured in that rate's time-of-use periods and offsets your use in the matching periods.

We handle the utility interconnection paperwork, and our roofers make sure the roof is ready first. See solar panel installation, battery backup and how net metering works.

St. Petersburg FAQs

Is St. Petersburg on Duke Energy?

Yes. St. Petersburg is served by Duke Energy Florida, so solar homes here use Duke's net metering under Florida's net-metering rule.

How does net metering work on a Duke time-of-use rate?

If your Duke rate is time-of-use, the solar power you send to the grid is measured in that rate's time-of-use periods and offsets your usage in the matching periods.

My older home only needs part of the roof fixed. Do I have to replace the whole roof?

Not always. If 25% or more of a roof section is repaired or replaced within 12 months, the Florida Building Code generally requires the whole section to meet current code. Roofs built, repaired or replaced to the 2007 Florida Building Code or later are exempt: only the part being worked on has to meet current code. We'll tell you which applies to your home.

Do you work on homes in historic districts?

Yes. Homes in a local historic district may need extra approval for visible roof changes. We'll check the requirements with you before we start.

Do you handle the permit?

Yes. Where a permit's required for your roof, AC or solar project, we handle it and schedule the inspections.
